I was watching the end of a movie; it was around midnight when my doorbell rang. I checked the camera and saw a taxi driver. I went to my camera app and asked, "Can I help you?"
"Yes sir, I have a woman in my cab who says that she knows you and she is very drunk, can you pay her fare and come and get her?" he asked. I grabbed my wallet, rechecked the camera, saw the cab on the street and walked out the door to it.
"How much is the fare?" I asked, "It came to $58" was the reply. I went to back of the car and saw it was Annie, a thirty-year-old friend of my oldest daughter. I got $60 out of my wallet and gave it to him.
I opened the door and wrangled her out of the car. Next minute, she vomited down the front of her dress. Great, I thought but just as well it wasn't in the cab. "Come on, Annie, let's get you inside." I said. She was completely out of it, I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder, sharing her vomit, shutting the front door and going straight to bathroom.
There was no way that either of us could clean ourselves up without stripping off. Neither of us had seen each other naked, but that sure as hell was going to change tonight. Our bathroom had a shower and a bath, but I reckoned the bath could hold the dirty clothes and the shower used for washing us. I turned the shower on, getting it up to a warm temperature.
